Khmer Rouge Exploration Visits ECCC

In June 13 of 2017, it was my pleasure to go visiting and watching the Khmer Rouge Tribunal at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. It was my very first time to see this big kind of tribunal. Many Cambodian were there including monks, farmers, workers, and students above the age of 16. I was sitting in the back row watching the tribunal and I can see Mr. Khiev Samphan, a guy who have power during the regime, very clear through the glass where they have the tribunal going on. I didn’t expect to see him or hearing all of the terrible moment he did during the Khmer Rouge however the lawyers and the witnesses were attacking him, with their evidence. I was so happy that Cambodia is always trying to bring justice and fairness for their citizen that lost their family during the genocide. Even though I didn’t experience the genocide, but I can still imagine all of the pains and sorrow that Cambodian faced during that period of time. The memorable of watching this tribunal has encouraged me to learn more and be the positive change agent for my country.
